Overview

Step aboard the Island Packet 465 and enter an interior crafted for bluewater comfort and coastal elegance. The spacious main salon boasts 7' 3" headroom, warm teak joinery, and a teak-and-holly cabin sole, with stainless-steel opening ports fitted with screens and opening deck hatches throughout to keep the yacht bright and airy. Twin full-length settees frame the salon; a large table folds neatly against its bulkhead shelf when not in use, while the port settee extends to form a double berth and both settees convert into secure sea berths with custom lee cloths. Adjacent to the companionway, the navigation station features a high-backed swivel armchair, an IPY inlaid chart table, a storage tray and tailored cabinetry, plus a wet locker within easy reach and a dedicated chart compartment. Two generous cabins and abundant storage make the 465 equally adept at harbor-hopping, living aboard, or world voyaging: the aft owner’s cabin presents a double island berth, ample stowage, and direct access to the aft storage garage; forward, a spacious guest cabin offers another double island berth with lift-up ends on both berths for access to the storage beneath. Each of the two heads is appointed with a vanity topped in solid acrylic, a separate shower stall enclosed by folding acrylic doors, and dependable VacuFlush heads.

Climate control and interior comforts are thoughtfully specified, including three Dometic Marine Air units with reverse-cycle heat (18k BTU in the salon, 12k BTU aft, and 9k BTU forward), Buff Ultraleather upholstery in the main salon, and a removable teak cocktail table with an IPY logo inlay that mounts to port or starboard. Ventilation is enhanced by five 12V Hella Turbo fans, Zarcor companionway doors with screen and glass inserts, thirteen IPY port screens, Zarcor Peek‑a‑Boo port shades, and handsome teak-and-stainless interior screens and vents for the dorade cowls. Practical upgrades include custom lee cloths for the main cabin settees, a refinished cabin sole (2023), two VacuFlush toilet pumps replaced (2023), and two sets of bed covers with pillow shams for each berth.

The walk‑through galley is flanked by opening ports on both sides for cross‑breeze and light. Top‑loading refrigerator and freezer compartments use digitally controlled cooling units for generous cold storage, complemented by excellent dry stowage. Equipment includes a Force 10 LPG range supplied by two ten‑lb aluminum tanks, filtered water, a microwave, a double under‑mount stainless‑steel sink, two Frigoboat Frigomatic units serving the refrigerator and freezer, a refrigerated drink drawer, a full complement of dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, and a durable Corian countertop.

Sail handling and performance are dialed in with a 2019 Neil Pryde inventory: a jib on a Harken MK II furler, a staysail with a Hoyt boom and Harken MK II furler, and a furling mainsail with partial battens, all supported by running rigging replaced in 2019. A spinnaker with snuffer (2022) broadens the sailing envelope, with working sail area of 1,122 SF. All control lines are led to the cockpit, with two clutch stoppers on the mast for the spinnaker and a Forespar LCLC 12‑22 UTS_UTR whisker pole on a mast track. Winch power abounds: two Lewmar #54 self‑tailing electric primaries, one Lewmar #46 self‑tailing electric winch on the cabin top, two Lewmar #30 self‑tailing winches on the mast, one Lewmar #8 winch on the mast, one Lewmar #46 self‑tailing winch, and one Lewmar #16 self‑tailing winch. An ATN boom brake with dedicated rigging increases safety and control. The standing rig is original 1x19 stainless steel with an aluminum mast and boom by Charleston Spars, a spreader halyard with shroud cleats, and an Intercoastal Waterway‑friendly air draft of 62 feet plus fixtures, approximately 64 feet maximum.

On deck, a custom stainless‑steel stern arch built of two‑inch reinforced tubing integrates dinghy davits, boarding lights, and a satellite antenna. A Magma LPG grill stands ready for alfresco dining, paired with a 10' AB 10AL aluminum‑hulled inflatable (2019) and a 15 HP Tohatsu outboard (2015), plus an Extendo Boom for smooth dinghy launch and retrieval. Ground tackle is expedition‑ready with an anchor platform supporting two rollers, a Muir Cheetah 2500 electric windlass with dual gypsies, reversible operation, and both deck and cockpit controls. The primary anchor is a 50 lb polished stainless‑steel Manson CQR with a swivel to 5/16" chain; the secondary is a 66 lb polished stainless‑steel Lewmar claw anchor with a swivel to 5/16" chain; and there is 250' of 3/8" chain with swivel and a rope safety tail (to be confirmed). The setup includes ground tackle spares with three snubbers. Four stainless‑steel dorade‑style cowls with protective guards, a large aft deck with storage, a hot/cold freshwater shower on the aft deck, a recessed foredeck with raised bulwarks, a stern platform with swim ladder, and a stern rail with two stern seats add comfort and security. Stainless‑steel handrails run the length of each side of the coach roof, while mooring cleats are mounted on the teak cap rails forward, aft, and amidships. Two fishing‑rod holders and a complete LPG system with two ten‑lb aluminum tanks recertified in March 2021 round out the deck inventory.

The yacht’s bluewater pedigree shows in the build: in October 2020, the bottom of The Other Line II was stripped and professionally recoated at Snead Island Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida with one coat of Copperkote primer and four coats of Copperkote paint. The hand‑laminated hull and deck employ proprietary resins and knitted triaxial fiberglass fabrics, with Polycore foam stiffening in the deck and grid moldings. All exterior surfaces above and below the waterline are finished in osmosis‑resistant PolyClad 3 gelcoat backed by a vinylester laminate. The hull‑to‑deck joint uses a molded hull flange through‑bolted with stainless‑steel bolts and locknuts, set with a gasket and urethane adhesive sealant, and all deck hardware is backed by aluminum plates. The Other Line II’s flag‑blue Awlgrip topsides received a ceramic coating in 2023.

The large center cockpit delivers more than comfort; it’s a secure working platform for every sail trim underway. A sturdy helm pedestal carries an electronics mount and folding table, paired with a folding wheel and a helmsman’s seat with backrest. Six‑foot‑long cockpit seats with comfortably angled backs, fitted cockpit cushions, a Sunbrella dodger, bimini, and enclosure panels, covers for the dodger clear panels, dodger snap flaps to lead lines into the cockpit, and protective covers for the pedestal, wheel, and four winches extend cruising comfort. Canvas awnings for the fore and aft decks, complete with support poles and fasteners, create welcome shade at anchor.

Electronics are turnkey and modern. At the helm, a Raymarine AXIOM Pro 12 S multifunction display with CHIRP Conical Sonar supports CPT‑S transducers and Navionics+ US & Canada charts (2021), complemented by Navionics Platinum Plus 906PP for the Southeast and Bahamas (2021) and a NapPod on the pedestal (2021). The Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler radar with 15 m power and data cables (2021), a Raymarine SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter kit (2021), and a Raymarine AIS700 Class B transceiver with antenna integrate navigation and situational awareness. Entertainment flows through a Sony stereo with Bluetooth and Sirius XM, two Bose speakers in the salon and two Fusion speakers in the cockpit, with a remote volume control in the cockpit. Visuals include a 20" LCD flatscreen TV with DVD player in the aft cabin and a 26" LCD flatscreen in the salon, fed by a Marine Air TV antenna and dockside cable TV connection via a salon switch box. Autopilot is Raymarine ST 6002; VHF is Icom IC‑M604 with a remote mic in the cockpit; SSB is Icom HF Marine IC‑M802 with dual insulators on the backstay.

Electrical systems are robust and cruising‑ready: a MasPower 8 kW generator (model MP8M) in a sound shield shows 1,504 hours, feeding a 12 VDC and 120 VAC system. Shore power arrives via dual 30 Amp service through two 30 Amp inlets. The house bank comprises eight 2022 Lifeline AGM Group 27 batteries totaling 800 AH, supported by one 2022 engine start battery and one 2022 generator start battery. Charging and conversion are handled by a Magnum MS 2812 inverter/charger with house bank monitoring, a Charles Industrial 5000 SP Series 60 Amp battery charger, and a Xantrax Link battery monitor for the engine and generator start batteries. Protective systems include a Promariner galvanic isolator and a full bonding system. Renewable energy comes from a Pimus Air Breeze wind generator with LED indicator, three Kyocera KD 135 solar panels for 405 watts total with an MMPT controller and digital monitor, and a Southwest Wind Power Air Breeze wind generator with digital monitor (may be INOP). Convenient 12V plugs are distributed throughout the interior and cockpit.

Plumbing and utilities are equally comprehensive. A Spectra Catalina 300 MK II modular compact watermaker with monitor supports extended cruising. The yacht is fitted with VacuFlush electric heads with tank monitors, an electrical macerator pump with valves for overboard discharge of the holding tank, and a hot/cold freshwater shower at the aft deck. Domestic systems include a Seaward 11‑gallon water heater and a single 260‑gallon integrated GRP freshwater tank. Bilge management is handled by a Rule 4000 bilge pump with float switch (2023) and a manual Whale bilge pump.

Safety equipment and spares are aboard and organized: a Viking RescYou Pro six‑person canister life raft mounted on the custom arch is present with an expiration date of 07/2022 and conveys as‑is; a Lifesling 2, seven Type V PFDs, four Type III PFDs, tethers and jack straps, an ACR Rapid Express ditch bag, a Marine 2000 medical kit, an airhorn, tools, a bosun’s chair, owner’s manuals, and numerous spare parts complete the package.

Mechanical systems are proven and well specified. Propulsion is via a 75 HP Yanmar 4JH4‑TE showing 3,547 hours, mated to a Kanzaki KM4A2 2.53:1 RH reduction gear and driving a three‑blade feathering Max‑Prop. A Shaft Shark line cutter, PSS dripless shaft seal, and a Reverso electric pump oil‑change system support reliability and serviceability, while single‑lever engine control at the helm makes maneuvering intuitive. Filtration is by two Racor 500 FG fuel filters. Auxiliary power includes a Tohatsu 15 HP outboard. Low‑speed control is enhanced by a bow thruster, and the steering system is the precise Lewmar Mamba direct drive.
